Max Verstappen is on the verge of a race ban after picking up too many penalty points, currently sitting on 11.
Drivers are allowed to pick up 12 points in a 12-month period, with an automatic one-race ban being triggered once 12 points are met, with Kevin Magnussen becoming the first driver banned under the system in 2024, missing the Azerbaijan GP.
Verstappen and Fernando Alonso entered the season on eight penalty points on their super-licence, although Alonso lost a set of three points the day after round two in China, and a further three points on April 20th, leaving him on just a pair.
As for Verstappen, he must make it through nearly half the season, until after June's Austrian GP being just four points away from a ban. He would be the first-ever reigning world champion to be benched should he receive four penalty points in the first 11 races.
After the Spanish GP, as outlined below, he is now on 11 points and on the cusp of a ban.
The article below showing how many F1 penalty points each 2025 driver has will be updated after every grand prix in the season to reflect the latest standings with points being added, or expired ones being removed.
